Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Sacred Heart Cathedral School recognises that culture, whakapapa, aroha, respect for others and those we treasure are fundamental to living our best lives and we embrace the partnership and principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

The Principle Protection – Actively promoting Maori knowledge and interest values. We believe that identity language and culture are important expressions of what it means to be a culturally located team.

The Principle of Partnership – We work together with our tamariki, their whanau, iwi and communities to incorporate traditional, cultural values and promote inclusive decision making. This aligns with our strat goal as we prepare to navigate an interconnect world.

The Principle of Participation – Empowering our tamariki to actively participate in processes and learning using critical thinking skills, positive connections with self, faith, the environment and others.
